Colleges apply for rural generalism to become official sub-specialty
ACRRM president says the process could take up to two years to complete
The RACGP and ACRRM have formally applied to have rural generalist medicine recognised by the Medical Board of Australia as a sub-specialty of general practice.
The colleges say the move is “critical” in addressing inequities in access to health services in the bush, as well as barriers to training and employment faced by rural doctors.
